‘Feather Fiesta’ by Bluffton artist Mary Burrell
It’s already been an exciting Spring in the eclectic art community of Bluffton. As you read this, we will have just experienced the exciting Bluffton Flower Show, organized and hosted by the fabulous Babbio Guscio of The Store.
Next up for Bluffton this year is the Old Town Bluffton Spring Fling – a weekend of art-filled events and fun. Beginning Friday, April 10, from 3-7 pm, the Spring Art Walk will feature downtown shops and galleries serving refreshments while offering the best in local art, chic clothing, and unique gifts.
On Saturday, April 11, enjoy live art demonstrations at downtown galleries, art exhibits, and children’s art activities, along with face painting and ice cream. At La Petite Gallerie, we will feature the lovely glass artist Kathy Oda and jeweler Patricia Mothershead, along with our gallery artists demonstrating their creative skills. We’ll also have a large collaborative canvas available for visitors to try their hand at painting – our artists will be there to help you become an artist for the day. Live bluegrass music in our garden will serenade you!
Sunday, April 12, rounds out the weekend with brunch and lunch featuring local cuisine at downtown establishments. Spring Fling drinks will be available at participating restaurants.
On neighboring Hilton Head Island, even more exciting art events are coming up. The Art League of Hilton Head is hosting a Plein Air Paint Out event April 9-10.
